Cups are way too small, gore doesn't tack, has thick padding. I keep it for the looks but I hardly ever wear it.

After my roaring success with the Sharon half-padded bra, I went back to Kris Line for some more. Sadly, this bra was a disappointment.

The straps are set waaay too far apart. Wearing it for more than a very short period of time is painful as the very lacy straps rub my armpits raw. Also, the underwires are in a Nike swoosh shape instead of the U shape I like, and they're way too wide. The cups are much too shallow, as well. I'm pretty sure the only reading that I got a measurement of 9 inches for the cup depth is because the cups are so very wide. ... Also, the band is much, much too loose--I had to hook it on the tightest hook from the very beginning in order to feel comfortable.

Positive aspects include the very low, narrow gore. The padding is very impressive and I highly recommend this bra to anyone looking for a push-up. The cup fabric is soft and very nice. It is a very sexy looking bra, just not comfortable for my body and breast shape.

It was pretty and I liked the velvety feel but the cups were too small for me. It does have removable straps but it doesn't work as a strapless, only as a halter or racer back and the straps were almost too tight to do a racer back

This fit really well in the band and cups, but the straps are quite wide set. It's pretty uncomfortable, but only because of the straps. I'll see if using a racerback bra clip will help, if not I'll have to move the straps.

Edit: I removed the plastic boning on the sides because it was poking me, which also some how made the straps more comfortable. I also removed the bows because they had weird little white plastic buckles on them and they looked cheap.

So, I originally ordered this bra knowing in the back of my mind that it would probably be a smidgen too big. It was. Zulily only had this style in a 28GG, when I'm normally a 28G, but I'd heard the cups ran small and since they were padded, I figured I'd give it a go. However, there are many beautiful things about this bra that make me wish it had fit! The fabric is so soft and quite plush, and the lace detailing on the wings and under the wires is so pretty- the strap detailing is gorgeous as well!
This is ... my first Polish bra, and it met my expectation of narrow wires; they sit just perfectly on my relatively narrow breasts (I don't really have any tissue under my underarm). The gore is also relatively narrow; the wires touch and the edges of the fabric encasing the wires overlap just the slightest bit- this would be good for someone with closer-set breasts, as I can't see the gore being an issue as far as sitting on centre tissue. The bra also has built-in padding on the inside, which helps with the fit, but unfortunately not so much that is helps me fully fill out the cups.
Overall, this bra would've been nearly perfect if I had been able to order it in a 28G. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is too small for me and this may cloud my review, however I was expecting Krisline to be good for my even top to bottom but centre full boobs with narrow root, but actually, I don't feel its any better than my Cleo Marcie was. The gore on Marcie was narrower (and taller to support the centre fullness), the wires are very similar width and the lace on Marcie was more accommodating across the top. I also preferred the Marcie lift - although the lift of this is better than my Bravissimo balconettes. I was a 34GG/32H and think I am now a 32GG/30H generally. This bra was paper labelled as 30J and I also tried the 30JJ both of which were too small with a non tacking gore (how uncomfortable that is now I haven't had one for years) and an elastic seam at the top causing quadboob

This bra runs about 1 cup size too small. It allows for center projection and is a great plunge, even for soft tissue. It has some push up padding and would look amazing under t-shirts

Comfortable bra, plunge balcony style with small removable cookies in the bottom of the cup. The bottom of the cup is nicely projected, and top of the cup is open. This bra would work well for full all over breasts. I don't have mega tissue on top, but I have tall roots, and the cups work for me. They could be SLIGHTLY more closed, but the gaping is minimal. I haven't used the cookies, yet. Hopefully they'll help the issue.

The straps are convertible, but aren't long enough to cross in the back. They're barely long enough to work as regular straps, and I'm only 5'3". They're also ... very widely spaced- any farther apart, and they would be in my armpit. I wonder if I had more breast tissue in the upper, inner quadrant area, if they would feel more comfortable.

The narrow gore is still too wide on me, so the wires are kind of buckling, but because it's a loose tack, it's still comfortable.

Edited to add: By the end of today I was fully filling the top out, and desperately needed to scoop and swoop to stay within the underwires. Post-ovulation boobs are awesome.

Gorgeous lemon creme yellow!
Runs a bit small in the band compared to other UK 32's but nowhere as ridiculous/unwearable as the 32J Diamond Semi Soft. MUST find in a 32K/L or 34J/K.
The I cup is comparable to a FF ish in this band.
Only 2 hooks per column but 4 rows, which is nice for longevity.
Materials are just lovely, particularly the grey lace with yellow embroidery along the band and front of the straps. The satin may be the kind that snags easily but I like it so much that I would wear it anyway.
The gore is extremely low, as are the wings.
The straps are convertible at the back. I don't know if I would/could use that, but it's nice to know it was at least considered. Also, they didn't pop off when I tried it on - a good sign!

There's a piece of elastic or fabric tape across the top of the cups that gives me just a hint of quad boob. I'm planning to remove it. The straps are set very wide, I'll see if using a racerback clip will help and if it doesn't I'll move the straps. Otherwise, the bra feels great!

I guessed wrong on a Zulily sale, or this bra is mis-marked, or Kris Line has serious consistency issues.
I think the cup would be perfect but the band would be too tight even with an extender. Maybe an 80/85 GG/H?
Colorway would be nice for fair to medium skin tones. Materials and construction are lovely.
Cups are very deep at the center so I think they would be best for fuller on top boobs.
Band has 4 columns of 3 hooks.

Kris Line has aptly named this the Deco Plunge. Which came first: Freya or Kris line? Either way, this is extremely similar but in "big girl sizes". Fairly narrow. Low low gore. Cup is moulded/seamless but the fabric covering has 1 seam (like a dart) coming from the bottom of the cup up midway. If that REALLY bothers you, I suppose you could cut the fabric off and just have the foam cup, but these bras aren't cheap and they're quite beautiful so I really wouldn't.

Band only has 2 hooks, but its got 4 positions to tighten. Feels firm but not enough to size up unless you are ... closer to a bigger band (ex: 33+" I'd go 34, 32.5" or lower go 32)

Straps feel a little wide set but I only had this on for a moment. Straps are also removeable! Wouldn't work as a strapless I don't think, but you could purchase longer straps to use as halter/X-back.

The floral fabric was actually a bit disappointing. The black is much lighter than the black of the band and the flowers are a but muted. It's still pretty, but I wanted it bright.

I saw this on clearance at Brastop and decided to try it since there was a 30F in stock. The band is a little large, which surprised me as it seemed contrary to the measurements of other Kris Line bras. The cups are just too small for me. It's beautiful and it pains me to let it go. I'm not usually a fan of animal prints save for 'subtle' patterns like say, the Curvy Kate Smoothie Moulded Bra (CK2401) , but this is absolutely beautiful and gold and black. I can only describe it as "luxe." If I ever see it in a FF i'm gonna snatch it up for sure.

This is a very pretty bra. I really wish it fit. It is my first foray into Polish bras and I totally got the size wrong. I was told to go up 1 - 2 sizes and I made the mistake of going up 2 cup sizes. The band is pretty tight, too. I think it would be fine going down one cup size. I will most likely get the same band size and let it stretch out a bit with wear. It is very projected and the wires are more narrow than any of my other bras, which is great. The fabric is very nice and comfortable.

I only tried this bra on and knew immediately that the cups were way too big for me. It has never been worn and still has the tags attached.

When I saw this bra for a heavily discounted price I wanted to try it out. I have heard Kris Line bras are very nice, but I would hate to pay $90 for one! I had read a blog post by xelestial suggesting that the 34M fit closer to a 32JJ in her opinion... So I picked it up on the cheap!

Anyway, it's a bit big for me. Probably more like a 34JJ or 34K. Others have found the band to run tight, perhaps it's just variation in individual bras? I found this to fit more true to 34 than a tight 34 verging on ... 32. The band has 4 sets of hooks instead of the typical 3. So I fastened it on the second loosest setting for better support. Side note, I have been losing weight so that may affect how 34s feel for me.

The cups feel 1, maybe as much 1.5 cup sizes too big for me. They are made of two layers of a soft mesh material and are a standard 3 part bra. The straps are a little wider than some bras with a pretty embroidered pattern on them. It has a lovely lace pattern on the upper section of the bra and small amounts of embroidery on the lower two sections. The wires are narrower than my @Panache and @Cleo bras, on par with the @Ewa Michalak bras I've tried. Very comfortable - they don't poke my armpits! They are not exceptionally tall, so that helps minimize the poking.

It gives a nice enough shape, though I'm sure it would feel more supportive if it fit a little better. I tightened the straps to the tightest setting which helps a bit with the fit and shape.

Band fits great, meaning it probably runs a little large. Cups are too small, meaning they are probably true to size. I'm around a 32/34, H/HH.
Very pretty, nicely made and quite comfy.
Probably not a good fit if you are very full on top.

Loved how the band fit, but the cups were a bit too small. The gore was wonderfully narrow, and the wires were in just the right place under my arms. Maybe someday I'll find it in a bigger cup size?!

Definitely too closed on top for me so may not be the best bra for FoT

This bra fits me really well! The band is too large for my 26-27" ribcage so I have to wear it on the tightest hook but it's very nice and gives great cleavage.

Way too big in the cups and too small in the band. I bought it from another Bratabase user. There are pockets for foam inserts but it didn't come with any. It's such a pretty bra.
